Yearly Archives: 2008

It’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you.

I know I’ve been quiet for a minute, but I’m in the middle of moving back to Brooklyn. I can’t stand the yuppies in the East Village any longer. Sorry guys, threatening to call the cops over noise at 9:30 on a Friday is not doing it for me. I had no idea I moved into an old folks’ home.

So now I’m rebuilding the studio and enjoying the freedom to bump shit as loud as I please. Also, Ryan and I live in the same apartment now. Brenner’s Breaks Volume 2 is in the works and there are some surprises in store. I won’t say anything else at the moment, but stay tuned…

Sometimes life just wants to kick you in the ass.

I know Valentine’s Day can be tough for some people. Forget about all that cute shit and get raw with this new mix:

In honor of this latest release, I finally got my shit together and set up a podcast. Click here to subscribe for free on iTunes.

Also… we’re running a little contest over at This Is Hip Hop. Crate diggers, do your thing.

Props to everyone who made Artcrime 5 another dope party this weekend. Scallywag and I have been in the kitchen for a minute, and now the party sauce is ready. Shake it to the ground every second Saturday at Pianos:

Saturday, February 9 – Pianos – 158 Ludlow St, NY

Respect also due to Kevin Nottingham, who hit me up for an interview after hearing The Adventures. Read it here.

It’s been a minute since Ryan got on stage, so come out and show the Bandit some love later this month at Southpaw. We’ll be sharing the stage with The Project, Nuclear Fam, and Cool Calm Pete. Where Brooklyn at?

Friday, February 22 – Southpaw – 125 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY
– $10

Great news! I’ve been nominated for Urb’s Next 1000. If you love my music, click here to register and rate me.

Not so great news! This week is the last Rhythm Shower at Supreme Trading. Word on the street is my spot was usurped by Large Professor. Can’t argue with that… so come out tomorrow and shake your rump with me and Scallywag! $5 for a PBR and shot of bourbon, as usual.

Thursday, January 17 – Supreme Trading – 213 N 8th St, Brooklyn, NY

Okayplayer finally gave The Adventures an official review. The verdict is in… three and a half questies. Next time I want the full four.

“The one-two punch of 100dBs and Ryan-O’Neil recall hip-hop’s glory days of one emcee/one producer magic that keeps a consistent balance running from the top to the bottom of the record.” – Okayplayer
